Gentlemen Hall – “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe (Kendrick Lamar Cover)”

To date, Beatspill has predominately been a hip hop blog, however, just as music is dynamic and ever changing, I like to think of this blog’s boarders to be relatively ambiguous and fluid, which is why it’s a perfect place for this track. Gentlemen Hall‘s“Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe”, a cover of Kendrick’s song by the same name, is a unique piece that wholly entranced me. A minimalist beginning that sounds like two Justin Vernons harmonizing, soon becomes a multifaceted and transforming track infused with tribal beats, flutes, and swinging synths. The greatest part of all: this track was originally a bumping and bass heavy Kendrick track, which goes to show just how profound the effects of an artist’s interpretation of a song can be. Enjoy.
